My dad and I are getting involved in smaller acreage (10-40 acres) of pumpkins, corn, melons, and I will be wanting to grow some sunflowers and canola as well, for biodiesel. We own a 9N and an NAA, the NAA was recently purchased by my dad but I think was a poor choice, it only offers more power than the 9N, it doesn't offer remote hydraulics or live PTO. I've discovered that for certain, I need remote hydraulics to operate my seed drill and John Deere 5 sicklebar mower. I'm a little locked into 3 point implements, as I have recently purchased a 2 bottom plow, tandem disc, 2 cultivators (one w/ dirt shield for young seedlings) and a 2 row corn planter, all in 3 point. So I'm looking for something to suit my needs! Saw this ad: "FARMALL 300 NF fast hitch or 3 point, near new tires, good sheet metal, good paint, TA live PTO and hydraulic, asking $2,250/offer." I'm in North Dakota, and this guy's about 290 miles away in Minnesota. Being in the heart of farm country I thought it'd be easier to find tractors, but honestly most of the tractors these days are huge beasts for grain farming, and I actually think the smaller ones are more common in more affluent states where people do farming merely as a hobby. Reading the papers I haven't found a lot of tractors that fit my requirements, but this one seems like a fair fit. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the narrow front...I prefer a WF like my 9N, but I suppose as long as you exercise good driving judgement you won't tip over. Is it easy and safe to convert a NF to WF? If so, is it hard to find parts to do so? Talked to the gent today on the phone, he's a retired farmer and hasn't used the machine much for a few years. New rear tires. Says it runs good, or at least no problems that he's aware of. Fasthitch w/ a 3 point conversion as well. TA working as far as he's aware. So what do you all think of the price? Things to look for? Sounds like one should definitely check for play in the steering from what I've read on these forums. I don't know if it helps any, but in my area, 9Ns go for around 1900-2500, with restored ones going in the 3000 and above. Ford 2000s go for 3-7 thousand. NAAs for 2500-3500. Seems like M's and H's go for 1500-2500 without loaders.

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
